His Nefarious Schemes

Kabanata 24

I rolled my eyes as I saw Engineer Falcone. Kakarating ko lang sa site ang pagmumukha niya ka agad ang bumungad sa akin. I can feel the bad energy.

"Akala ko hindi ka pupunta." he said and I replied with a small smile.

"I wish but too bad I can't." Nakibalikat kong sabi.

Linagpasan ko siya at pumunta sa opisina niya. I sat down on the couch and played with my phone. So much for learning.

"Aren't you going to go out and check the progress?" hindi ko namalayan na pumasok pala siya.

"There can't be any progress in just two days." Natatawa kong sabi. Though I'm still kinda awkward but okay.

"I didn't say there's progress." Nakangiting sabi niya. Wait, isn't he awkward or something?

"Ah." Irap ko.

Nakita ko ang munting ngiti sa kanyang labi kaya tumayo na ako at lumabas para iwanan siya roon. Does he think acting like that is okay? He's acting like he didn't do anything wrong! How can he act so comfortable after everything that happened? 'Hindi ka kasi naka-move on' Aisha's words echoed.

Dapat talaga layolayoan ko na si Aisha. Kung ano ano na lang ang sinasabi! Nadadala ang inosente kong utak. Tamad kong binalingan ang mga trabahante. They were all busy.

"Hard hat miss." napalingon ako ng may maglagay ng hard hat sa ulo ko.

"Ugh thanks." I awkwardly said. Ngumiti lang siya habang ako naman ay pilit na ngumiti.

"May gusto ka bang kainin Ms. Devero?" tanong ni Engineer Chavez. Ngumiti ako at umiling.

"I'm good thank you." pormal kong sabi.

"Are you sure?" she asked once more. Pilit naman akong ngumiti.

"Yes." she nodded her head and went near Engineer Falcone. Caressing his shoulders down to his hand. Sumunod naman ang tingin ko sa kamay niyang malikot.

"Ikaw Engineer Falcone? Would you like anything to eat?" Is it just me or her voice got a little bit flirty?

"I'm good but thank you." Ngiti ni Engineer Falcone.

Tumango naman si Engineer Chavez. Akala ko aalis na siya pero nakatayo parin siya sa gilid ni Engineer Falcone.

"Sandwich and coffee? Sure." my jaw dropped as she turned her back smiling wildly. Napailing-iling si Dylan habang may ngiti sa labi.

"I mean no offense but is flirting here fine? I mean I'm just curious." Engineer Falcone looked at me while biting his lower lip. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.

"Maybe but for me no. I don't flirt with my fellow engineers and architects." I rolled my eyes. Good thing I stopped myself from scoffing.

"Really?" hamon ko.

I don't think so. Kakalandi lang nila ni Engineer Chavez kanina. Hindi naman sa may pakialam ko pero ayaw ko kasi na may relasyon sa mga nagtatrabaho para sa proyekto na ito.

"Really." Nakangising sabi niya. I rolled my eyes.

"Okay." tumalikod na ako at pumasok ulit sa opisina niya. I should ask mommy about the two engineers who are flirting.

But why is he talking to me like everything is fine? Akala niya siguro nakalimutan ko na lahat ng pang-gagago niya! I rolled my eyes and sat on the couch at tinawagan si mommy.

"Hello dear! Is everything going fine?" bati niya.

"So far it is mommy." sabi ko habang tinitignan ang kuko ko. I think I need to change my nail color. It looks so boring.
